I loved how strong Julia was! She knew what she did and didn't want. She did things her own way to achieve them!
I loved that Peter wanted to be better than his parents were and be honorable in all ways of his life.
I liked how good the girls were for Julia and never behaved badly.
I liked that there was that second smaller, second chance romance between Elliot and Amelia-Julia's mother. They crossed paths again after a good 25 years and slowly built their way to love each other again.
